# Debugging

There are a few basic tools and techniques that can help you to debug applications.

Use Chrome DevTools to debug your client-side code.

-   To open DevTools on Windows and Linux, press Control-Shift-I in your Google Chrome browser. On Mac, press Option-Command-I.
-   To quickly find which line of code is failing, enable the **Pause on all exceptions** option before running your code.

To learn more about debugging JavaScript on Google Chrome, refer to the [Google Chrome's DevTools](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/) website.

-   **[Disable Caching Setting During Development](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/aura-platform/guide/debug-disable-caching.md)**  


    Disable the secure and persistent browser caching setting during development in a sandbox or Developer Edition org to see the effect of any code changes without needing to empty the cache.

-   **[Log Messages](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/aura-platform/guide/debug-log-messages.md)**  


    To help debug your client-side code, you can write output to the JavaScript console of a web browser using `console.log()` if your browser supports it..
